Where it came from
Assault Formation was first released in the Dragons of Tarkir expansion in 2015 before being reprinted as part of the Jumpstart set in 2020. It was designed to support a specific playstyle within the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem that rewards players for focusing on a creature's toughness rather than its power. By allowing creatures to assign combat damage based on their toughness and enabling them to attack as though they did not have defender, the card serves as a mechanical anchor for 'toughness matters' decks.
Artist Kieran Yanner illustrated the card, capturing a chaotic, magical battlefield scene that emphasizes the card's theme of rugged resilience. The design is widely regarded by players as a niche but effective tool for Commander and casual formats, as it transforms defensive walls and high-toughness blockers into potent offensive threats. Its inclusion in Jumpstart helped solidify its accessibility for newer players looking to experiment with unconventional combat strategies.
